| Desc | INVESTING AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT:ACUMEN INVESTS PATIENT CAPITAL IN BUSINESS MODELS THAT DELIVER CRITICAL, AFFORDABLE GOODS AND SERVICES TO THE WORLD'S POOR, IMPROVING THE LIVES OF MILLIONS. SINCE 2001, ACUMEN HAS INVESTED IN BUSINESSES THAT PROVIDE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, ENERGY, EDUCATION, WATER & SANITATION, HOUSING, FINANCIAL SERVICES, AND AGRICULTURAL SERVICES TO LOW-INCOME CUSTOMERS. OUR INVESTMENTS ARE ADDRESSING THE PROBLEMS OF POVERTY IN EAST AND WEST AFRICA, SOUTH ASIA, LATIN AMERICA AND THE UNITED STATES. ACUMEN HAS CUMULATIVELY INVESTED $114 MILLION IN MORE THAN 100 BUSINESSES SERVING THE POOR. [SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O]POST-INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT HAS CONTINUED TO BE A KEY PRIORITY FOR ACUMEN. IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THIS YEAR, OUR TEAM CONDUCTED ANNUAL REVIEWS FOR ALL PORTFOLIO COMPANIES TO MEASURE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE AGAINST SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL IMPACT TARGETS AND DEVELOP DETAILED POST-INVESTMENT ENGAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLANS OUTLINING THE SUPPORT AND INVOLVEMENT REQUIRED BY ACUMEN TO HELP THE COMPANIES GROW. ACUMEN HAS ALSO EXPANDED ITS WORK WITH CORPORATIONS TO LEVERAGE THEIR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE TO SUPPORT OUR INVESTEE COMPANIES WITH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.ACUMEN ALSO HOSTED A LIVE SUMMIT FOR INVESTEES FOCUSING ON BUILDING STRATEGIC FINANCE CAPABILITIES WITHIN THEIR SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAMS TO HELP THEM BETTER MANAGE FINANCES AND EXECUTE ON FUNDRAISING STRATEGIES. ACUMEN'S POST-INVESTMENT WORK THIS YEAR HAS ALSO DIRECTLY SUPPORTED COMPANIES THROUGH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE GRANTS. THESE GRANTS SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT DE-RISK THE ABILITY FOR OUR COMPANIES TO EXPERIMENT WITH NEW, INNOVATIVE PROJECTS AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT THAT CAN HAVE A HIGH IMPACT ON THE LOW-INCOME CONSUMER. ONE OF OUR BIGGEST DEVELOPMENTS IS THE PIONEER ENERGY INVESTMENT INITIATIVE, AN EFFORT TO BRIDGE THE FUNDING GAP IN OFF-GRID ENERGY AND CATALYZE THE UNDERINVESTED SECTOR TO ACCELERATE ENERGY ACCESS ACROSS THE DEVELOPING WORLD. THE AIM OF THE INITIATIVE, ANCHORED BY A $5 MILLION GRANT FROM THE IKEA FOUNDATION, IS TO IMPACT 8 MILLION PEOPLE THROUGH ACUMEN'S PORTFOLIO OF COMPANIES BY 2026. WITH THE INITIATIVE, ACUMEN WILL EXPAND ITS WORK IN ENERGY BY INVESTING IN THE SCALE-UP OF EARLY-STAGE BUSINESSES, FILLING GAPS IN THE VALUE CHAIN, AND SUPPORTING THE OFF-GRID ENERGY ECOSYSTEM. THE INVESTMENTS FOCUS ON NEW WAYS TO GENERATE AND DISTRIBUTE ENERGY TO HOMES, SMALL BUSINESSES, AND COMMUNITIES NOT CONNECTED TO THE CENTRAL ELECTRICAL GRID, SUCH AS HOME SYSTEMS, MINI-GRIDS AND INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS THAT USE SOLAR OR OTHER RENEWABLE SOURCES TO BRING POWER TO LOW-INCOME PEOPLE. | Desc |

WE BELIEVE BY ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS AND LISTENING TO THE POOR, OUR CAPACITY TO CONNECT AND AMPLIFY VOICES THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN UNHEARD WILL SCALE UP MASSIVELY.USING OUR LEAN DATA METHOD, WE DID A DEEP DIVE INTO OUR ENERGY PORTFOLIO TO UNDERSTAND HOW OUR INVESTMENTS IN CLEAN ENERGY OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS ARE IMPACTING LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS. OVER THE LAST YEAR, WE SPOKE WITH MORE THAN 5,500 OF OUR LOW-INCOME CUSTOMERS ACROSS 11 COUNTRIES USING LEAN DATA TOOLS, OUR CUSTOMER-CENTRIC, TECHNOLOGY-BASED APPROACH TO IMPACT MEASUREMENT.

| PART I, LINE 2: | PROGRAM-RELATED GRANTS: THE ORGANIZATION MAKES LARGE GRANTS TO ITS RELATED ENTITIES TO FUND THEIR OPERATIONS, THE ACTIVITIES OF WHICH ARE MANAGED BY THE ORGANIZATION. ACUMEN MONITORS THE ACTIVITY OF ITS RELATED ENTITIES BY ANALYZING EXPENDITURES AND COMPARING ACTUAL PERFORMANCE TO BUDGETED AMOUNTS, AND BY MAINTAINING DIRECT OVERSIGHT OF THE ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED AND EXPENDITURES INCURRED. OUR AFFILIATES IN PAKISTAN AND INDIA HAVE INDEPENDENT AUDITS. IN ADDITION TO THE AUDIT, OUR CENTRAL OFFICE FINANCE DEPT IN NEW YORK HAS OVERSIGHT OF THE COUNTRY OFFICES' SPENDING. INVESTMENTS IN THIRD PARTIES ARE PRIMARILY DEBT OR EQUITY INVESTMENTS. RELATIVELY LITTLE IS AN OUTRIGHT GRANT FOR USE BY THE THIRD PARTY. FOR ANY PROGRAM-RELATED INVESTMENTS, THE ORGANIZATION REQUIRES REGULAR SOCIAL IMPACT, FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL REPORTING, TYPICALLY MAINTAINS A BOARD SEAT ON THE INVESTEE COMPANY AND CONDUCTS AT LEAST ANNUAL REVIEWS OF THE PROGRESS OF THE PROGRAM. FOR ANY GRANTS TO THIRD PARTIES, A GRANT AGREEMENT IS DRAFTED OUTLINING THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF THE GRANT, TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE USE OF GRANT MONEY. GRANT FUNDS ARE DISBURSED ONLY AFTER THE GRANTEES SIGN THE GRANT AGREEMENT. DEPENDING UPON THE AMOUNT AND TERM OF GRANT, THE GRANTEES ARE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN DETAILED RECORDS OF THE USE OF THE GRANT AND PROVIDE PERIODIC REPORTS TO ACUMEN. THE PROGRAM STAFF WILL REVIEW THE GRANTEE REPORTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE. ACUMEN PROGRAM STAFF DILIGENTLY SCREENS THE PROSPECTIVE GRANTEES' TRACK RECORD AND REPUTATION BEFORE AWARDING ANY GRANT, AND WHERE A NEW FUNDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTS, SCREENS GRANT RECIPIENTS AGAINST WATCH LISTS SUCH AS SANCTIONS, SPECIALLY DESIGNATED NATIONALS AND BLOCKED PERSONS, ANTI-CORRUPTION AND ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING LISTS. THROUGHOUT THE GRANT TERM, THE PROGRAM STAFF INTERACTS WITH THE GRANTEE ORGANIZATION TO UNDERSTAND THE PROGRESS THE ORGANIZATION IS MAKING BY USE OF THE GRANT FUNDS. THEY ALSO REVIEW ANY PERIODIC REPORTS SUBMITTED BY THE GRANTEE AS WELL AS THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ORGANIZATION (IF APPLICABLE) TO ENSURE PROPER UTILIZATION OF GRANT FUNDS BY THE GRANTEE. GRANT AGREEMENTS OFTEN REQUIRE THE RIGHT TO INSPECT AND AUDIT THE RECORDS OF THE GRANTEE REGARDING PROPER USE OF FUNDS. THE GRANT AGREEMENT SIGNED BY THE GRANTEE TYPICALLY STATES THAT ALL OR ANY PORTION OF GRANT FUNDS USED IN A MANNER OR PURPOSE OTHER THAN THOSE DESCRIBED IN THE GRANT AGREEMENT MUST BE RETURNED TO ACUMEN. |
| PART I, LINE 3: | PROGRAM-RELATED INVESTMENTS: THE ORGANIZATION HAS A COMPLEX FINANCIAL STRUCTURE THAT IS NOT EASILY SHOWN IN THE FORM 990. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE INFORMATION BEING PROVIDED, THE READER SHOULD APPROACH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WITH TWO KEY PIECES OF INFORMATION IN MIND. FIRST, ACUMEN IS LIKE A TRADITIONAL NON-PROFIT IN THAT IT RECEIVES CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND HAS ONGOING OPERATING EXPENSES FOR BOTH PROGRAM WORK AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS EACH YEAR. SECONDLY, AND UNLIKE ALMOST ALL OTHER CHARITIES, ACUMEN INVESTS A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF ITS ASSETS IN ENTREPRENEURIAL ORGANIZATIONS OPERATING IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. THIS WOULD INCLUDE SUPPORTING CONTRIBUTIONS TO RELATED ENTITIES AND PROGRAM-RELATED INVESTMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES AS PART OF ACUMEN'S CHARITABLE WORK. IN SUM THESE ACTIVITIES ARE SHOWN IN PARTS I AND II OF SCHEDULE F. THEY ARE ALSO INCLUDED ON FORM 990 PART X LINE 13, WHICH SHOWS THE ORGANIZATION'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE OUTSTANDING BALANCE OF PROGRAM-RELATED INVESTMENTS. ACUMEN PUTS ITS RESOURCES INTO THESE INVESTEE ORGANIZATIONS AS PROGRAMMATIC INVESTMENTS AND ATTEMPTS TO NURTURE THEM UNTIL THEY THRIVE (OR FAIL), PROVIDING MULTIPLE SPIN-OFF BENEFITS TO CUSTOMERS SERVED - TYPICALLY THE POOREST POPULATIONS WHO LIVE ON LESS THAN A FEW DOLLARS PER DAY. THE ACCOUNTING METHOD USED TO ACCOUNT FOR EXPENDITURES IS THE ACCRUAL METHOD. |
